Split this per subsystem, please.  
I've done a few painful API transitions before, and I don't think the
complexity of these changes needs a per-subsystem constification pass. I
think this series is the right approach, but that patch 11 will need
coordination with Linus. We regularly do system-wide prototype changes
like this right at the end of the merge window before -rc1 comes out.
Right. I didn't read the code closely enough before responding.
Chalk my response up to being annoyed by the constant stream of
cross-tree changes in procfs without proper cover letter explaining 
how they will be merged :|
